All around us, countless small creatures come together and form an ecosystem. Among them are some very tiny creatures, making it hard for us to notice what they are doing. But if you take a closer look, you’ll see they play roles that affect our lives. For us to breathe, plants must grow well. For plants to thrive, the soil must be fertile. And for the soil to stay fertile, earthworms must eat and decompose fallen leaves, keeping the soil clean.

[Whoo-sh, Fla-sh] is a work that magnifies a small earthworm from underground. This earthworm reflects artist Seo Sunghyeop’s ecological view that small things can be greater. The inflated earthworm, glowing with light, wraps around the pillars of the Danghyeon stream pavilion. It seems to have grown so large from eating so much to clean the soil!
